Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Ginger Power Rankings Recap and Controversy

Timestamps 02:51–07:10

• Jeremy introduces a segment from another podcast (“Where’s the Line?”) where his recent “Top 5 Gingers” power ranking was discussed.
• Guest/Co-host teases Jeremy for ranking himself #2, after NFL quarterback Sam Darnold at #1.
• Discussion of Sam Darnold's achievements:

  "One of two quarterbacks to win 14 regular season games back to back. The other being Tom Brady." – Co-host (04:41)

• Playful call-out of Jeremy for omitting pop singer Chapel Roan despite her big year:

  “I felt it was a snub the size of, like, Bill Belichick not going into the hall of fame.” – Co-host (05:46) “She was up for two Grammys. Wore one of the most iconic dresses ever on the red carpet.” – Co-host (06:04)

• Jeremy agrees with the critique and reflects on the evolving nature of such lists.

2. Story Time with JO #4: Near-Decapitation at the Gas Station

Timestamps 07:14–24:21

• Jeremy sets up the story as “an event that needed to be shared” and references past customer altercations (notably his “pepper spray attack survivor” story).

  “I am a pepper spray attack survivor. Okay? I have been pepper sprayed in the line of duty. And you know what? I won that one. I got my groceries back, okay?” (08:16)

• This time, an older man stumbles into Jeremy’s gas station at dawn, behaving erratically and telling tall tales (shot every day, undercover cop, in town for a funeral).
• After leaving and returning, the man becomes belligerent, yells at Jeremy for not revealing where he lives, then threatens to “cut your head off” and lunges at him.

  “Now when somebody says, ‘I’m going to rip your head off,’ you handle your damn business.” (10:51)

• Jeremy describes his self-defense reaction:

  “He comes at me and I jack pop him right in the side. He drops.” (20:45)

• Police are called; the man is known to them, suffering from homelessness and mental health issues.

3. Musings on Decapitation in History and Pop Culture

Timestamps 10:57–16:10

• Jeremy humorously contemplates his near-miss, ruminating on real-life and fictional decapitations.
• Shares quirky historical trivia:

  “Adam Walsh, 1981, abducted from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida… that’s probably—I’m gonna go ahead and go on record as saying—that’s the beginning of the end for Sears.” (13:43)

• References famous decapitations in media:
  • Breaking Bad’s Tortuga
  • Kill Bill, Final Destination, Freddy vs. Jason, etc.
• Jeremy’s punchline:

  “Not a cool list to be on. No one’s really going to remember you. And am I on the list? So when some idiot like me looks up that list, do you get to see it? Yeah. And that’s where I would be sitting.” (24:00)

4. Aftermath and Reflections

Timestamps 24:21–28:00

• Jeremy details police handling: confirms use of self-defense and provides statement.
• Reflects that “everyone is safe—even the guy… so he can get help.”
• Finds humor in the mundane aftermath:

  “The day was really lame after that, frankly. In fact, one of my co-workers called in sick. So it was… awful.” (28:13)

5. Group Chat Woes and Continuing the Comedy

Timestamps 28:01–33:30

• Jeremy pivots to a story about his friend Eric at the zoo, involving “long-armed gator savers” and failed attempts at group chat humor.

  “You kid me, you don’t get to show up to the damn group chat and start talking about long-armed people saving gators… and don’t expect some jokes.” (31:54)

• Bemoans lack of appreciation for his jokes:

  “Just saying. And then immediately after, I send a text about how they're going to start selling alcohol at the Husker volleyball and football games next season. Do you think that would get some excitement from the boys? No, I didn’t.” (32:36)

• Concludes with his boss’s reaction to his near-decapitation:

  “His response: At least he didn’t cut your head off. Yeah, don’t worry, I’ll work the rest of the day.” (33:48)

[Jeremy Odom]

We want to give you just a little update on something we had very special from last week. I gave you my first ever current ginger power ranking. So this right, right in that. In the here and now. These are the top five gingers in the world in a power ranking format. I put a lot of thought into it. I put a lot of thought into these top five gingers of the moment. And then I was on wto where's the Line, the sports betting podcast that I am on with Andy Closet. We happen to be talking about the super bowl as we, as we are right now getting ready to watch the big game itself. We were talking about the game, getting ready with our bets, getting with our plays for the week. And he brought up, he brought up the power ranks. Of course, at number one, we had Sam Darnold who is a quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. So, yeah, he is definitely deserving of the number one spot in the power rankings. But apparently I had an omission. So here's the clip from wtl. Where's the line?

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

I listen to Laugh with me. Of course, you know, I'm one of the thousands of hundreds and hundreds of thousands of subscribers and listeners to the, to, to your. To your podcast, your top five top five redheads. I got to give you credit that you are opposite of humble enough. You know, you got, you gotta, you gotta stand on. Know when credit's due, you got to take it, right?

[Jeremy Odom]

Absolutely. I obviously I didn't want to be number one. Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

So you gave yourself number two.

[Jeremy Odom]

I was number two on the ginger power rankings.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

I thought that was perfect. I thought that. And number one I thought was pretty spot on. Sam Darnold.

[Jeremy Odom]

Sam Darnold. Well deserved. Yep. He's playing in the super bowl.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

One of two quarterbacks to win 14 regular season games back to back. The other being Tom Brady.

[Jeremy Odom]

Pretty incredible guy, which is why he's number one. I, I couldn't be number one because of that, but I did recover from this illness. I just want to give myself some credit.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

And your granddaddy's not Dick Hammer.

[Jeremy Odom]

Correct.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

For those that don't know, his grandfather it has surfaced was one of the original marble mansions. And his honest to God name was Richard Hammer. And everyone called him Dick.

[Jeremy Odom]

Man, look at his, like his just his head, he's got that chiseled ch. Oh, he looks like a Dick Hammer.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

It reminded Me of the, you know, the 90s when I was growing up, I'm like, that's it. I can remember flipping through Sports Illustrated and, you know, if you want to be a tough guy, you had to smoke reds.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

And then you flip the page and you drink Bud Light, and you have a lot of friends. And so it worked. I'm fine.

[Jeremy Odom]

The good old days. I'm fine.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

Right?

[Jeremy Odom]

Exactly.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

But I feel you had a snub. You snubbed. You snubbed a redhead. So your. Your rankings were top five. You said gingers.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yeah. Current gingers right now. Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

I mean, this is. I felt it was a snub. The size of, like, Bill Belichick not going into the hall of Fame for.

[Jeremy Odom]

My goodness.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

Yeah. I mean, it was right in front of your face.

[Jeremy Odom]

Massive.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

It is. It. I. I'm H o t T o g o. I am. I am. That's Chapel Roan.

[Jeremy Odom]

Perfection. Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

She was up for two Grammys. Wore one of the most iconic dresses.

[Jeremy Odom]

Ever on the red carpet.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

The red carpet alone was at the Twin Peaks double ring dress. Not since Trey Parker and Matt Stone wore the JLO dress. Had a dress gotten that much attention.

[Jeremy Odom]

You know what's funny is she said she thought it was actually pretty, like, calm. Like, she didn't even think she went all that out. So. Pretty impressive. Yeah. Well.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

And also, she has more red hair than anybody on the planet.

[Jeremy Odom]

Yes.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

She has a lot of red hair. So I. I just thought, that's top five easy. And she could have gave Dick Hammer a run.

[Jeremy Odom]

Man. What a. What a miss on my. I. Here I am. I had to.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

I had. I usually don't. Unless it's Gibron. I usually don't beat up my co.

[Jeremy Odom]

Host. Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

You know, but that's kind of be expected.

[Jeremy Odom]

That was well deserved here. And I thought putting Malcolm X in it, just. Just for awareness purposes. Yeah, yeah. Because he did have red hair. Just for awareness purposes. I thought that was a huge win. But you're right. What a miss.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

I. I wasn't gonna go after you about that. No, I. I like the list. I just felt like Chapel Roan, man.

[Jeremy Odom]

You know what? Live and learn, right? Yeah.

[Co-host or Guest on Laugh With Me]

There's always next year. We'll get another top.

[Jeremy Odom]

Well, there you go. That's from where's the Line? You can find new episodes every single week anywhere. There's that. You find your favorite podcast and on ESPN Radio in the Tri Cities, Nebraska. Now it's on to the main event. This is the Rewind edition, which means we are giving you the goods. This is a classic episode. Classic moments from Laugh With Me. This is from story time with Jo. Number four debuted October 1, 2024. Enjoy. Something happened to me today and frankly, it needed to be shared to the masses. I mean there's, you know, sometimes an event or a. Something in a situation, an altercation, as in this case happens to you and you need to share it. I've had those instances in the past and I've shared with you as you know, if you've been a loyal listener of Laugh With Me. You know that I am a pepper spray attack survivor. Okay? I have been pepper sprayed in the line of duty. And you know what? I won that one. I got my groceries back, okay? The thief ran away with nothing but lack of self confidence. Basically they gave me everything that they had and I walked away with burning all over my head, eyes, face. But I got my groceries and that's. Is that really what mattered? That was quite the day. You can go back in the archives and hear all about that today. Man, I don't know what it is about work, but people are getting wild out there. And this time I didn't, I didn't do okay. This time they gave it me. I, I will say last time when I got pepper sprayed, yeah, I was a little aggressive to try to get my groceries back. Okay? I did I have to go out in the parking lot and try to take the cart with the groceries back? No, I didn't have to do that. I could have let, let them have their groceries and we would have taken the whatever couple hundred dollar loss or whatever it is and I would never have been able to tell my tale. But I did get the groceries back. And nobody got hurt, right? Nobody got hurt. This time there really wasn't anything to gain or lose other than, you know, the, the possible end game scenarios within what, what transpired here today. I'm gonna get into it. It, it's, it's sad really. But what I think is important to talk about is what could have been, okay? What could have been on the other side because it's kind of fun and interesting to think about because you know, at the end I could, I could have been a legend. You know, they would have been talking about me for years and decades and maybe even centuries to come. But you know what? Instead I just handle my damn business and we'll have to worry about it. But either way, this week's episode of Laugh With Me officially. Story time. Jo, I highly recommend grabbing a beer for this one because I'm sure of it. This morning at 5:50am Somebody was drinking. It wasn't me. I wanted to after, but it wasn't me. No, no. But the customer that walked to the gas station this morning had to be. I mean, he had to have been on something. Whether it was he was drunk or on some kind of like painkillers. I don't know, maybe he's just going through some shit mentally and. And it kind of just caught up to him. Here's the thing. I could have been decapitated today. Now, I wasn't, right, JoJo? Because I handled my damn business, okay? Now when somebody says, I'm going to rip your head off, you handle your damn business. What. What could he have done? He could have ripped my damn head off. And it's, that's the thing. It would have been very rare. It doesn't happen very often anymore. It used to. I looked it up. I was looking at even just like in the United. I mean, decapitations used to happen all over the world, apparently. It was quite the deal in the United States. We don't have as many of these types of situations anymore. And most of them have to do with, you know, in a relationship where either the guy's upset with the girl, the girl's upset with the guy. That's generally the situation in the United States of why somebody gets decapitated. You know, from 1978 to 1991, it was a rare deal where it was just one guy named Jeffrey Dahmer and he was out decapitating. I mean, 16 of his victims, in fact, lost their heads. Not the situation here. But yeah, it's. It's actually, it's pretty interesting when you, when you actually go back and read everybody who's ever just had their head torn off. And it really, a lot of it is just has to do with relations here. This one not relationship related. This guy, Adam Walsh, 1981, abducted from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida. And his head was found in a drainage canal two weeks after he was murdered. Two weeks after. That's probably. That's. I'm gonna go ahead and go on the. On the Record is saying that's the beginning of the end for Sears. That's when people stopped going to Sears. 1981. Yeah, it was still a major player in the retail game, you know, in 81 and after. But that was the beginning of the downfall. People were scared they're going to lose their heads. I'm calling it. You heard it here first, guys, and that's just to the United States. You look at, you know, let's go to Sweden. See most Sweden, Sweden's had it better than us. The last time they lost somebody getting their head cut off was in 1910 and it was because of the using the guillotine for execution. You know, actually the guillotine was a very popular form of execution all over the world, but for the most part it's illegal now. A lot of fictional characters have lost their heads as well. Some that we have enjoyed, some maybe that we haven't. Something we went ed Truck from the office, he lost his head. I forgot all about that. There's a bunch of people throughout the like the Final Destination series that lost their head. None in the first Final Destination, But Final Destination 2, Nora Carpenter lost her head. Man, it's wild. Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger and Freddy versus Jason decapitated. Isn't that something? Oh, Boss Tanaka and Kill Bill fight one. I forgot all about that one. Oh, Tortuga and Breaking Bad. A lot of people remember that. I'm sure that's a pretty relevant and newish one. Here's spoiler alert. If you haven't seen Deadpool and Wolverine, Sabertooth was decapitated. That's the deal. A lot of people have been just not a lot recent. And that's where today's story comes in. I very well could have been on my name on this list. 2024 gas station lost his head. That's what it would have said. It probably would have said something like Jeremy Odom, host of Laugh with Me and Bottom five Podcast. Super popular podcasts. Decapitated at work. That's, that's probably what it was said. So here's what happened. Sorry, I had to stretch. Sometimes we just have to get ready. Like I feel like I'm gonna, I'm gonna be in a fight again. So, you know, we're opening up the store and it's, it's actually a pretty busy morning and we're selling stuff. It's me and my co worker, we're both running the registers because in the morning you get that morning rush and it's just, it's non stop. People buying coffee, donuts, breakfast sandwiches, you know, blah, blah. And we had a little bit of a lull. This older guy comes in, probably 70 years old, looks like he's been through the ringer a little bit. He comes in and he just starts going on about how he had been shot and we're like, oh shoot, you know, do you need to go to the Hospital. And he goes, you try to go like, well, I did, like, I had this whole thing with my Crohn's and I was bleeding and then, you know, it's like I was losing iron and this. So anyway, I didn't, like, I didn't want to, like, go through my whole medical history with him and be like, yeah. And then it was just disputes with the doctors and blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I ended up getting what I needed and I feel great today. I didn't want to, like, go through all that. So I was just like, yeah, yeah, man, if you got shot, though. And he. He's like, yeah, I get shot every day. I'm like, that's. That's probably not the case. I mean, he didn't look bloody and he didn't appear to have any issue with blood loss and. Or in pain for that matter. And he. He's going on about how he works for the police kind of like undercoverish. And he was driving to get this bad guy and they were, they were shooting at him, which is a common issue for him. And then, you know, he doesn't have a car, though. And then he. He's going on and on and on about how he. He's. He's got this wife, but he doesn't. And he is in town for a funeral, which is funny because my co worker actually went to high school with this guy and was like, oh, you're so and so. And he's like, oh, yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. And they, they knew each other. And then there is a funeral on Saturday that they would both know and she's like, oh, so you're in town for, you know, this person? And he goes, oh, no. Probably another one. Classic answer when you don't want to say who you're in town for a funeral for when there. There isn't one. When. When that's just like your go to. Anyway, he lives in Colorado, but he's in town for a funeral and then he doesn't have a car. And then he's just like going up to this other customer and he's like, hey, can you like, get me a coffee? This customer's like, sure, I'll buy you coffee. It's like a dollar. So he get. He goes and gets his coffee and then he leaves, you know, no big problem. He. He like just walks out of the store. Awesome. See you later. And I'm. I'm thinking like, all right, well, how many hot dogs I need to get on the rollers? Like, kind of looking through orders like you know, that Zen. You guys know what those Zen, like the nicotine pouches they. People put in their. In their lips, like, those are flying. But they can't keep up with the stock because the trend's so high. It's like, I really. I think about that a lot because. Not. Not because I don't want to do it. I don't want to use it, but I'm just, you know, how do I get more for the customer? So then my co worker, though, is concerned because this guy, she's like, I hope he left. So then. Because he just seemed off, which, yes, he did. So I go outside and I start walking around. I don't see him. I'm like, okay, well, I'm going back in because I really need to start ordering this in. And then next thing you know, he comes walking up the front sidewalk, and I'm like, he's back. He comes in the store. Immediately. There's only like one or two other customers in the store. They're buying their goods and. Or, you know, grabbing whatever they need in the store. And then he comes up to the front counter and he, He. He says to me and my co worker, and he's like, I've been shot and nobody will call anybody. I'm like, well, what do you need? Like, we'll certainly call who you ever you need. And he goes, call anybody, but do not call. And then he named our county their police. Okay, buddy? And he looks at me and he goes, where do you live? And I go, that doesn't matter. He immediately starts yelling at the top of his lungs about how I'm a fucking idiot, how it does matter, and how he went and fought for me, for this country to have this. And I go, hey. And I. Then I started to walk around the corner, around the round side of the counter, and I said, hey, it doesn't matter, but you gotta go if you're gonna be yelling. And he goes, I'm gonna cut your head off. And he comes at me and I jack pop him right in the side. He drops, Drops. There he was coming at me. First of all, this is self defense. No bullshit on my end. He goes down. We immediately call the police, and the sheriff's office arrived right there pretty quickly. And he's down.

Cold and flu season has a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you're fine, the next you're sniffling non stop. And when that starts, your skin feels it.

With moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil and aloe, they go beyond just handling the sniffles. Kleenex lotion tissues protect, soothe, and moisturize your skin.

He's been in town for a funeral for a few months. Unfortunately homeless and unfortunately going through something mentally. But we, you know, we didn't know. We just knew that somebody came in, was absolutely losing their shit. When I wouldn't say where I live and then came at me, he's going to cut my head off. Like. Then the last thing I wanted to do was join this lists of decapitations. I went over the list. First of all, it's really not that great of a list when you think about it. Like, I could have given you the names of a lot of the folks I could have given you the last 10 people in the United States or even the world that have been decapitated. You wouldn't be able to name one of them. Like, you wouldn't have been like, oh yeah, I remember that one. No, none. So not a cool list to be on. No one's really going to remember you. And am I on list? So when somebody, some idiot like me looks up that list, do you get to see it? Yeah. And that's where I would be sitting. So it's really not even that cool of a list to be on. Pull them into the car, to the sheriff's car. I go to the. Have to go to the sheriff's. Different one. Explain my deal. I, I do get self defense. So I get to go back to where I ended up getting the Zen order on time. Thank you. And then he got taken away because he can't. You can't threaten to decapitate people and lunge at them and make a mess of coffee everywhere. You know, that's just not really something a person should do. But that was my day. I don't know. And I, that's. Sometimes you have a day like this and it's not so much that it's like, oh man, this is like a banner day because it's really not. Like at the end of the day, I, I'm. I'm safe. Everybody at the store was safe. You know, even the guy is safe. He's in a good place right now, so he can get help. But the it's just something, you know, I'll probably remember, you know, in passing at times be like, oh, yeah, I remember when that guy wanted to cut my head off. I'm like, but he didn't. You know, I guess I. I won that one. You know? Like, I'll. I'm gonna take the W. Like, if. If we all have a record of every fight we've ever been in, like, I'm 1 0, okay? Amateur status, sure. But I'm 1. And, oh, I'm. I'm pretty proud of that. You know, I'm not trying to go professional or anything, and I. I really don't want to get in the fight game at all, but if I had to and. And. Or, you know, maybe started lifting and was just like, you know what? I think. I think maybe this is where I need to be right now. You know, I would Definitely bring that 10 record with me, and it'd be something to maybe get me into a better, better fight for the next time. But I don't know. Definitely makes for an interesting morning. The day was really lame after that, frankly. In fact, one of my co workers called in sick. So it was. It was. It was awful. I mean, it was terrible. I was just trying to do everything. That's a Tuesday. That's Tuesday that happened. And it's not even something I remember forever, but I had this issue the other day in. In the group chat with Kyle and Eric and you guys. They've been on the show before. Kyle's my brother. Eric's one of my best friends from high school. We got this group chat. We're constantly chatting it up. Right. I couldn't have had anything better. And they gave me crickets. I'm gonna go back to it because it's actually. It's an interesting story on Eric's behalf too. Okay, so he's at the zoo. So the zoo is doing these, like, things where, you know, it's, like, for adults, you know, later in the evenings, and they sell beer and you could see the animals or whatever. So he's at the zoo, and he's at the desert dome and. Which is, like, the desert. And they got desert animals or whatever. He's using the restroom. He comes out of the restroom, and the people there are like, hey, the zoo lady wants to measure your arm. And he thought it was, like, a bit, like, maybe they were just gonna, like, teach him something. But no. Apparently the gators eat coins that people throw in the pools, and they can't digest the. The coins. Which. Side note I've had a, I had a cat once that swallowed a penny. Got super sick because it couldn't digest the penny. Stomach acid, burning through hole through this penny. The cat was gonna die. He was just a little guy and it was like a thousand dollars to pay for surgery to save, save the cat's life. And he got the penny back. Just this penny with a hole in it. Anyway, so I know it's a real thing. And the gator can't completely digest this penny or any of the coins. So this guy has to reach his arm through the mouth of the gator and pull the coins out of their stomach. But the problem is the arms are long enough to reach into the biggest gator. So their current guy has a 32 inch arm. Eric came in at 31, they needed a 30, 34 arm length. So he was not able to save the gator. He did not have long enough arms. So he's texting us about the story, which is, which is awesome. Like it's actually a pretty interesting story. And then I said, you couldn't stretch it a bit? I've always been able to stretch a couple extra inches. I thought that was funny. And it was like, it was a dick joke. And then, then he's like, oh, I didn't realize how serious it was until after when the lady spotted him across the room and then was like, you know, explaining. And then I replied, I just read that the first long armed gator saver was named Jacob Rock. The song Crocodile Rock was actually about him. Ol Junior. Great response. You kid me, you don't get to show up to the damn group chat and start talking about long armed gator savers. And don't expect some jokes. That was great. No response from those fools at all. And then I say, oh, a tough crowd on a Friday. This is on a Friday. So first of all, we should be in a great mood. It's fucking Friday. And then Eric's like, oh yeah, where I'll cut him. And it's like, you dude, I'm not gonna say you should cut yourself because that's, that's wrong. Nobody should do that. But we're gonna be a little we. We. It's great. Let me read it again. I just read that the first long armed gator saver was named Jacob Rock. The song Crocodile Rock by Elton John was actually about him. You're telling me if somebody showed up with a story about longarm people saving gators, like coins out of gators and somebody throws that in there, you're not Getting a chuckle or a little haha or some kind of emoji, like. Just saying, just saying. And then immediately after I send a text about how they're going to start selling alcohol at the Husker volleyball and football games next season. Do you think that would get some excitement from the boys? I. No, I didn't. And they may have missed it. Maybe they were going back and just be like, hey, we're we really up on this? These gator jokes. And they felt bad. They didn't want to instantly jump on the Husker thing. I don't know, I just feel like I brought a lot to the chat on, on Friday and sometimes it be like that, sometimes. What do you think, Jojo? I'm just happy it wasn't beheaded. Oh, oh. Best part, I text my boss that all this happened, right? Like afterwards, I'm like, hey, just so you know, like, there was this guy and anyway, you know, the sheriff took him, blah blah blah. His response. At least he didn't cut your head off. Yeah, don't worry, I'll work the rest of the day.
